Pailiament will meet this day, in consequence of 4 the Commission for its further protogation not hav- ink been signed by His MIOESTY. A Prociainadon appeared in the Gazette, on the 20th ultimo, for further proroguing Parliament, which'was, to this day, till the ,9.9 th inst., The Commission fur carrying that Proclamation into elle& was prepared, • but in consequence of his MAJESTY'S indisposition, the Royal Signature was not affixed to it, and, of coursp. Parliament must meet.— As soon as both Hailses' have assembled, a mo- tion will bte made to adjourn for a fortnight, which, ge should think, in the present circum- sonces, would be acceded to without opposition A Cabinet Council was to be held this morning at Windsor, and we believe all the Cabinet Ministers have left town to attend it: A similar case occurred in 1788, when Parliament .1 . met bn the 20 , h November, in consequence of his - IVINJESTY being unable, fioin indisposition, to sign Alic..Comtnission for its further Prorogation. .• As the following Medical Report-did not arrive in time yesterday for the whole of our impr , 2ssion, we think it necessary to insert it again : " Windsor Castle, 06t. 3s, 1810.

'BAILLIE." • Pqris Papers to the 26th inst. have arrived. •. t Tl'lgy bring another account of the battle of Busaco, - brit the. bearer of MssigiA's Dispatches, who it ap cears is travelling' by easy journies, has not reached Paris. The account given in these Papers is written by the- Intendant-Gener.al .LAmttEKT, at Vise% and by him forwarded to - Gonerid DROUET atNallado lid. Tile latter seems tolhiol: the receipt of LAM BEIIT'S Letter so extraordinary a circumstance, that he c.gplains . the nrianner in which it reached him, nd b. slows great praise on the zeal of the man who brought it. It is impossible to conceive a stronger proof:of ., the insulated state of the.ditferent French c - rps, and' total' Want of communication between intendant-General LAMBERT had, how - ever, another motive for writing to General DROUET besides that of sending him intelligence, for in his L•tter he . implares.him " to hasten his march, and ..come i anticlear the country in his rear." When Lord .WELLINGT . O.Si stated, that NIASSENA'S corn municatiou with . Almeida was cut oti,, some of the Opposition Papers attempted to sneer at his Lord r•ship's assertion.' They W ill probably be more in to . give hith credit when they find, by the _ . eOnfession of the French themselves,: that there was no cw'rifonnication even between Viseu and : the army. There: is nothing very interesting in LAllt- L elif „S account of the battle'of Busaco; he takes all .• the pains *he , :can to slur over the defeat of the French, but does not ekeente his task with much shill : thowcv r t ~ as MAssEgA's Dispatches will not in all probailitv reach Paris much before Christmas, the people ot 'Rance must be satisfied for the pre sent with such information as General LAMBERT can collea., PRI N CESS AMELlA.—ricr Royal Highness enjoyed about two 1i0ur . .4 sleep on Tuesday night: Yester day rnOrnin-gshe taok some nonriihing rerreshment; . but remained in the same state its on l'uesd,iy.

Soon afterwards GUSTA . VLIS contrived to died his escape by a vessel from the harbour, and entered on board a British ship of war. Au unsuccessful attempt to assassinate him was made, of which a very obscare account is given. " Previous to his' Majesty's departure,' he had been under great embarrassment from pecuniary. difficulties: " From - Stockholm, under date of .the gth ult. it is stated, that the last of the Swedes who had corn; posed the suite of Count GorToaP, viz. his Physi cian, his Chaplain, and his .Equerry, had quitted him, and returned to the capital." • CERAL4N PAPERS.
